Put your heart in good hands
The Cardiac Rehabilitation program at Island Health is a 12-week program that includes 36 exercise sessions including weekly education and counseling sessions.
If you have recently been diagnosed with a heart disease, you have a supportive network right in your own neighborhood. The Cardiac Rehabilitation department at Island Health is purely devoted to helping you recover and get back to the everyday activities that you enjoy.
